In the wake of violent protests and looting in Ferguson, Missouri, late Sunday, Kansas City Councilman Jermaine Reed said there are better ways for people who want justice in cases like the police shooting to get it.

HE HAS REACHED OUT TO THE BROWN FAMILY. HE IS WELL-KNOWN FOR HIS WORK IN THE TRAYVON MARTIN CASE. HE COVERED THE SHOOTING OF TRAYVON MARTIN EXTENSIVELY. A CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY FROM TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA, HE MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE TRAYVON MARTIN CASE OF GEORGE ZIMMERMAN WAS A -- FRUSTRATIONS SLOWLY BUILD THIS INFORMATION WAS RELEASED JUST AFTER TRAYVON'S DEATH. THINGS HAVE ESCALATED MUCH QUICKER IN THIS CASE. IT REMAINS UNCLEAR WHAT LED UP TO THE SHOOTING, PROMPTING BROWN'S FAMILY TO DEMAND JUSTICE. PROTESTS IN THE SUBURB TURNED VIOLENT, AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT DID NOT HAPPEN IN TRAYVON MARTIN'S CASE. IT BLURS THE FOCUS ON THE MEMORY OF MICHAEL BROWN AND THE CASE. MY HOPE, OF COURSE, IS THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN ANY PRINCIPALITY OR CITY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. I THINK THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE -- WE ESSENTIALLY SAID THAT WE GET -- THE PARENTS OF MICHAEL BROWN
